Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004105247A1] A feedback path (307) is formed between an output (310c) of a fixed divider (305) and a control terminal (310b) of a reverse/non-reverse device (304). A connection device (306) is arranged on the feedback path (307). The feedback path (307) is connected/disconnected according to the level of the control signal M from outside, thereby switching the number of divisions. The delay time of the signal given to the input terminal (310a) of the reverse/non-reverse device (304) to pass through the feedback path (307) and return to the control terminal (310b) is set greater than the pulse width of the input clock signal. A small pulse input invalidating function is provided in the fixed divider (305). Alternatively, a small pulse output prohibiting function is provided in the reverse/non-reverse device (304). The fixed divider (305) divides the clock signal before division from the reverse/non-reverse device (304) according to the rise edge of the clock pulse of the normal pulse width in the signal (a change point corresponding to the rise edge of the input clock signal).
